Chapter 131 Count one?
"Come, come, come, the persimmons just picked from the ground are fresh."
While a few people were talking, the director of the corridor had already returned from the kitchen. There were several washed tomatoes in the stainless steel basin in his hand. They looked bright red and watery, and there were still drops of tap water that had not been shaken off.
"Well, Grandpa Lou, can you do me a little favor?"
Shen Meng quickly picked up a juicy tomato, and then stuffed one into Astoria's hand.
"Tell me, do you want me to tell your fortune? Just give me some good fortune, old man. After all, this thing will take your life away."
The corridor leader was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"It's not for me, it's for her."
Shen Meng pointed at Astoria who was quietly chewing tomatoes and said:
"She has a very hard life. Her parents died during the Death Eater riots in the 80s, leaving only one sister to raise her up, and just two days ago"...
Shen Meng pointed at her eyes vaguely while Astoria was chewing the persimmon.
"This time she came to China to pretend to have artificial eyes."
Mu Qianhong, who was next to her, whispered to the old man.
"Hey, he is indeed a miserable child."
The corridor leader secretly glanced at the blindfold on Astoria's face, and then shook his head sympathetically.
"Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"
The corridor leader asked.
"I'm just waiting for your words, Grandpa Lou"!
Shen Meng said excitedly.
"Quick, Astoria, take out what I asked you to prepare."
Shen Meng quickly turned to Astoria and said in English.
Astoria was stunned for a moment, and the bright red tomato juice slowly flowed down the corner of her mouth, as if it were blood.
"Miss Greengrass"?
Shen Meng continued.
"Oh oh oh, here it is"!
Astoria hurriedly wiped the juice from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, and then picked up her personal bag from the table. The space expansion spell was cast inside, so a small purse can hold a lot of things.
Astoria first took out a small glass bottle, which seemed to contain...a hair that was neither long nor short?
"Uh, Xiaomeng, you don't want me to use this hair to tie the paper man, do you?"
The corridor leader was stunned for a moment when he saw the hair lying in the small glass bottle, and finally asked with suspicion on his face.
"You should talk to your classmate surnamed Mu about cheating. I don't know how to do that."
"I don't know how, because my mother didn't teach me. Of course, if you get angry and want to poison someone, you can come to me."
Mu Qianhong also interjected at this time.
"That's good. I was worried that you would give some bad information to that boy from the Zhang family. It seems that I was overly worried."
The corridor leader breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Am I such a naughty person in your heart?"
Shen Meng asked with wide eyes.
"Yes, it is indeed like this."
The corridor leader thought for a moment, then nodded with certainty.
"You have always been naughty and mischievous since you were a child. If your brother and your mother hadn't been watching, you might have caused some trouble."
Except for Astoria, who was still chewing tomatoes, everyone in the surroundings turned their eyes here, and then nodded with certainty.
"I actually want to, uh, ask you to make a concentric lock. This thing is actually not too excessive."...
Shen Meng said weakly.
"You want to lock her marriage away"?
After hearing this, the corridor leader almost jumped up from his chair.
"This won't ruin Yangshou"...
Shen Meng's voice became weaker and weaker.
"Whether you can break Yangshou or not is the next best thing. How do you know that these two people are matched? I can lock it here, but this lock is for life. If two people can't get through, we will be ruined. Two lives”!
The corridor leader said solemnly.
"But Grandpa Lou, if Astoria can't get together with Zhang Qi, she will have to be a victim of marriage and marry someone she doesn't like. I remember that this is what you hate the most." ?
After hearing this, Shen Meng raised her head and continued to speak to the corridor leader.
"When we were young, you often told us the story of Grandpa Lin's apprentice Wencai and Mrs. Ren's daughter Ren Tingting, who finally came together after everyone's opposition. You also told us that this is true love. Why now? But you suddenly don’t think so?”
The corridor leader raised his head when he heard this and saw a determined look on Shen Meng's face.
"...What is the character of that boy from the Zhang family?"
After being silent for a while, the corridor leader asked quietly with bloodshot eyes.
"Hey, Astoria, Mr. Lou wants to ask you what you think of Mr. Hilbert. Just say it directly and I will translate."
Shen Meng quickly said to Astoria.
"Well, he's a... nice guy."
Astoria blushed after hearing this and thought for a long time before she could say such a sentence.
"He's a nice guy and handsome."
Shen Meng quickly said to the Taoist Master.
"Don't bullshit me. That little girl said she was very nice, but she didn't say handsome."
The corridor leader glared at Shen Meng.
"I forgot to tell you, when I was young I was an intellectual and knew English."
After saying that, the corridor leader stood up from his seat, then strode to Astoria's side, pulled up a stool and sat down.
"Little girl, I understand your European customs, but what do you think of this man who is engaged to you because of family orders?"
The corridor leader said slowly in a very gentle tone.
"He is a very good person. He saved my life in the dark underground of Hogwarts before. What reason do I have to reject his family in the future?"
Astoria thought for a while after listening to the director's words, and then spoke slowly.
"My family is on the verge of collapse. I had to get engaged to a spoiled young master because this was the only way to ensure that my family would not be annexed by others. Even though my sister and I both knew that this marriage In fact, this is how the other party wants to annex our family, but we have to do it because we have no other choice."
"But Mr. Hilbert is different from those people, and his mother is the same. This family is not as lifeless and rule-abiding as the nobles I have seen before. I think it would be better if they could live in that kind of environment. Very good".
"Moreover, Mr. Hilbert's mother once said something to me when I woke up from a coma. I think it actually makes sense."
Astoria adjusted her blindfold after saying these words.
"What did she say"?
The corridor leader asked slightly curiously.
"she says"……
When Astoria said this, he hesitated for a while, and then said harshly:
"She said fuck the family honor, you live for yourself, not for the Greengrass family."
